I'm painting, I paint a picture in your mind If you're driving roads to suicide, I know you can sympathise If your love is a cheatin' and if you're blinded by the pain Your honeymoon in summer is a picnic in the rain...
You'll be grateful when you're dead Grateful when you're dead
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
I'm shaking, I shake the spear before your eyes Well if you know your history, you will read between the lines If you're waiting for a vision, to illuminate your mind To leave this world of misery, oh eave it all behind...
You'll be grateful when you're dead Grateful when you're dead
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba
Jerry was there, Jerry was there (many times!) Oh I'm telling you man, Jerry was there You could feel his presence everywhere Oh I'm telling you man, Jerry was there You could feel his presence everywhere "I seen him man - looked me right in the face"
